Ye Ling heard this and looked up, only to see a crack in the sky, and a giant eye revealed itself from within!
"That is..."
Seeing the colossal eye, Ye Ling frowned. He felt that the eye bore a resemblance to Yan Yun!
The Extinguishing World Spirit Fire spoke rapidly, "That is someone from the outside prying into this consciousness space. We've been discovered! You shouldn't stay here any longer, get out quickly!"
Ye Ling's body trembled violently. He glanced at Tian Ling again and gritted his teeth fiercely.
He had done what he needed to do. Whether Tian Ling would wake up was up to her. If he continued to stay here, he would surely die!
Without any further hesitation, Ye Ling immediately activated a rune, shattering Tian Ling's consciousness space and returning his own consciousness to his body.
Upon waking up in his own body, Ye Ling found himself bound tightly. Yan Yun, holding a skull staff, stood with a group of people, staring at him with a somber expression.
Yan Yun's expression was so dark it seemed ready to drip water. He glared at the awakened Ye Ling and said word by word, "Ye Ling, you have truly deceived me for a long time!"
Ye Ling glanced at the ropes binding him. Seeing that they were merely infused with a few powerful restrictions, he dismissed them from his mind. While secretly using the Samsara Great Dao to heal his soul damage, he smiled at Yan Yun and said, "I never changed my appearance. If you couldn't recognize me yourself, who can you blame?"
"You twist words!"
Yan Yun slammed his staff onto the floor and sternly rebuked Ye Ling, "Now Yan Zu wants your head the most. You actually dare to walk into a trap? Do you truly not regard us as anything?"
Ye Ling quickly scanned the surrounding cultivators and mocked them, "Who is your Yan Zu? Why do I see nothing but trash among you all?"
As soon as Ye Ling uttered these words, a thousand ripples erupted among the cultivators!
"How dare you!"
A Saint realm extraterrestrial cultivator, enraged, immediately flung a flying dagger towards Ye Ling's face.
Watching the flying dagger, etched with amplification runes, approach, Ye Ling merely smiled slightly and blew a puff of air at it.
The flying dagger immediately changed direction, shooting back along its original path at a speed several times faster. It pierced directly through the extraterrestrial cultivator's head, pinning him to the wall!
Blood flowed from the extraterrestrial cultivator's head, staining the ground!
Ye Ling's display instantly terrified the cultivators, turning their faces pale as they retreated.
Ye Ling, still bound, sat on the ground with an open demeanor and smiled at the cultivators, "No matter what I do, you trash cannot touch me. Go call your master."
At Ye Ling's ruthless mockery, endless fury appeared in the eyes of the cultivators. They clenched their fists, but with the previous incident as a warning, none of them dared to step forward to provoke Ye Ling again, only able to glare.
Seeing that the cultivators were intimidated by him, Ye Ling was content to continue repairing his damaged soul and confront them.
Although he did not take the present cultivators seriously, he had to be wary of Yan Zu behind them.
His soul was currently severely damaged, and he could only exert less than a tenth of his strength. Yan Zu, before being suppressed by the cosmic barrier, was at least a Great Dao Immortal Lord. Even after becoming supreme, his strength was likely enough to kill an Supreme Immortal.
And there were eight more beings like Yan Zu on Earth.
Ye Ling did not believe that in his current state, he could definitively defeat those from the outer realms.
Not to mention that he also had to protect Tian Ling.
Yan Yun was unaware of Ye Ling's thoughts. He cast a grim glance at Ye Ling and then used his skull staff to impose several more layers of restrictions on Ye Ling, saying coldly, "Ye Ling, you're only this arrogant now. We have already notified Yan Zu. When Yan Zu returns, let's see how you can still laugh!"
Ye Ling smiled, "Then I shall await your master here. But before that, every single one of you..."
"Get out of this room!"
Ye Ling roared, and his terrifying aura erupted, directly blasting all the cultivators in the room outward!
The cultivators crashed through walls and doors, falling heavily outside the room.
Only Yan Yun, with the help of the skull staff, managed to barely withstand Ye Ling's impact!
Yan Yun looked at the bound Ye Ling with disbelief, trembling, "This guy, how can he have such strong power even when sealed?"
He couldn't even imagine how terrifying Ye Ling's strength would be if he were free to move!
"Oh? You're still holding on..." Seeing Yan Yun still standing, a hint of amusement flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. He released his aura, pressing it entirely onto Yan Yun!
Boom!
The terrifying aura pressed down on Yan Yun's shoulders. Yan Yun, caught off guard, knelt directly before Ye Ling!
The cultivators outside the room looked at the kneeling Yan Yun in shock, their hearts churning with immense waves!
They couldn't understand why Ye Ling, despite so many restrictions, could still be so arrogant!
Yan Yun was different from them; Yan Yun possessed the staff bestowed by Yan Zu!
Why was Yan Yun still powerless before Ye Ling?
The crowd was unable to comprehend!
"Damn... I must kill you!"
Yan Yun's expression contorted. He tightly gripped the skull staff with both hands, frantically channeling the power within the staff. With the staff's strength, he managed to stand up.
"Oh? Interesting..." Seeing Yan Yun stand up again, Ye Ling's amusement deepened. "In that case, I'll make it a bit more difficult for you."
Boom!!!
The pressure Ye Ling exerted on Yan Yun doubled. Yan Yun, who had just managed to stand, knelt down once more!
Crack!
Yan Yun's knees shattered. The intense pain stimulated his nerves, causing him to scream out, "Ahhhhhh!"
The cultivators outside the room watched Yan Yun kneel and scream, their fear of Ye Ling growing ever deeper.
The extraterrestrial cultivators merely trembled, but the cultivators who were originally Earth natives, the gods and Buddhas who had heard of Ye Ling's fame, were now so terrified by Ye Ling's oppressive aura that they collapsed to the ground, their faces deathly pale.
They already regretted joining Yan Zu's ranks!
Even though the times had changed, Ye Ling remained terrifying!
Thus, under Ye Ling's unreasonable pressure, all the cultivators present were easily subdued.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling's soul damage was rapidly healing under the nourishment of the Samsara Great Dao, and his aura returned to its peak.
"That's about enough..."
Ye Ling, regaining his vitality, stood up from the ground. Then, under everyone's terrified gazes, he shattered all the restrictions on his body!
Yan Yun, kneeling on the ground, saw Ye Ling easily break free from all the restrictions he had imposed. His eyes filled with even greater fear, and he trembled, "You, you..."
Ye Ling stretched his limbs, then walked up to Yan Yun, grabbed his head with one hand, and lifted him up.
With his head held in Ye Ling's grasp and suspended in mid-air, Yan Yun became even more flustered. He looked at Ye Ling in terror, "What, what do you want to do?"
Ye Ling said calmly, "From the very beginning... I found you very displeasing."
"So, die."
Bang!
Ye Ling tightened his fingers, and Yan Yun's head was crushed!
Crimson blood splattered all over Ye Ling. Yan Yun's skull staff and his headless corpse fell to the ground together.
Silence descended, so profound that not a sound could be heard.
